As a read Zylinska and Mol I thought of how each topic realted to one another. Both authors were discussing ethics. Although, Mol was not straight forward is stating she was discussing ethics that is what I got from the reading. Mol discussed how the logic of care begins with the collectives with patients (p. 58). Mol discussed how other factors of a patients’ life may influence their health. Zylinska discussed the history of ethics.
Zylinska begins her chapter discussing he history of ethics. She talked about Kuhse and Singer and there discussing of universal prescriptivism-“prescribing universal judgement for all possible circumstances, including hypothetical ones” (p. 8). It seems to me that this is on the same lines of the logic of care, …show more content…
I agree with Mol, that the logic of care is the better way to approach health issues such as diabetes. On the other hand, there are many instances where the logic of choice, weighing the pros and cons of a situation may be the better option. In the Zylinska’s book she touched on the topic of abortion. In the situation, I would say many women may weigh the pros and cons before making a decision. Zylinska said, “If only we could agree in advance what it actually means to be alive” (p. 11). I think this quote in is an example of the logic of choice, because there would have to be a concrete definition of what it means to be alive. Similarly, to the logic of choice, a decision would have to be made. An example, of this would be show someone maybe in an advertising fashion what it means to be alive and having individuals make a choice if someone is alive or not. This would not for weighing opinions or discussing it situation in greater details. In Mills’s book she discusses terminating a pregnancy because of a disability. Again, this is a choice. Mol said, “The logic of choice is tension. As long as individual health is at stake, the logic of choice wants individuals to make their own choices” (p.70). I can agree with this to a certain extent. The decision I listed above, I feel do require patients to make their own choice. In certain instances the health care providers
